Outsourcing and Product Manufacturing
At MOSS&SCHMIDT, we make connections. You already have the idea, the design, and the prototype. Now it’s time to outsource product manufacturing to companies that can scale up production economically, while still retaining quality.
What is product manufacturing?
Product manufacturing means ramping up your product for sale. After the industrial design and prototyping phase, the final product is ready to be manufactured at any scale, small or large, for a low cost. It’s all about finding the right fit for what you want to product.
We have identified that many Australian business struggle to find high quality manufacturing that remains affordable. In the end, if you aren’t receiving a decent profit margin on your idea, you aren’t fully achieving what you set out to do.
